FINAL NARRATIVE REPORT

April 2017- March 2018

prepared by ESAF India April 2018 Annual Report, India 2017 - 2018 Name of the project: Livable Cities program Name of the partner: ESAF India Period : April 2017- March 2018

Narrative Summary Be it for a stroll in the neighbourhood or for the daily commute, having adequate built environment facilities encourages people to be physically active and choose to be healthy. Insufficient physical activities are one of the leading risk factors for death worldwide and for Non Communicable Diseases such as Cardio Vascular, diabetes and cancer. The intensity is such that nearly 61% of deaths in India are now attributed to NCDs, which is highly alarming. This trend can be reversed to a large extent if the cities focus on the built environment that could encourage people to be physically active. ESAF has been promoting the concept of liveability in seven cities since 2008 with the vision that “We want happy and healthy children and families in every neighborhood who have safe streets, free access to parks, playgrounds, open space and fun places to play around”. The progress we have made so far is promising, be it through the sustainable transport programs or with the public space programs. This year, we added 2 new cities in Kerala (Calicut & Trivandrum) to explore further on the strategies that could be replicated to any city. Our strategies of research, policy development, community engagement and capacity building have proven the right one for adding more stakeholders into the system who can work on these issues. The programs are Public Space Program, Healthy Transportation, Active and Safe Route to School Program (ASRTS), Urban Farming, and Gender and Mobility in 7 cities (Bangalore, Calicut, Kochi, Malappuram, Nagpur, Thrissur, and Trivandrum). These programs will enable to achieve the vision leading to  Decreased morbidity and mortality due to injury and chronic diseases  Increased social interaction and community cohesion  Decreased emissions of air pollutants leading to poor air quality and climate change ESAF with its expertise and a nearly decade of experience, are contributing for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – 3 (Good health and well being), 11 (Sustainable cities and communities) and indirectly to goal 13 (Climate Action).
